U. S. Open Championship Annual - 1970 Edition. Official Program for the 70th Open Championship of the United States Golf Association at Hazeltine National Golf Club, Chaska, Minn., June 18-21, 1970.

Chaska, Minnesota: Hazeltine National Golf Club, [1970]. Paperback. 10 3/4 by 8 3/4 inches; 273 by 209 mm. Softcover, in very good condition, with a light crease near the outer edge of the front cover, and mild general wear to the covers. Contents are clean, and the glued and stapled binding is strong. Item #519

The front cover shows a photo of Hazeltine; the rear cover is an advertisement for St. Paul-brewed Hamm's beer. Like other programs of this sort, this one contains listings of the top players and former champions, a hole-by-hole illustration of the course, and essays on the history and current state of the sport. Quite distinctive, though, are its advertisements, predominantly for Minneapolis- and St. Paul-based companies. Together the ads and other material about the cities show the metropolitan area in transition, striving to move from regional to national prominence.

Price: $75.00
